I expected the butter to return, not concrete!

Make sure they put in the right oil!  A dealer should know
better, but when they have multiple marques and they allow
the part-time kid to fill them, you can get the wrong viscosity
or brand oil.  That will definitely make for changes in shift
behavior.
